Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse shows off in video

April 12, 2012

Bugatti unveiled the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse convertible at the Geneva motor show in March, and this week, it uploaded a few high-definition YouTube videos showing the car ripping around mountain roads.

The Grand Sport Vitesse is Bugatti's hardtop convertible supercar, using the 7.9-liter W16 engine from the Veyron Super Sport that makes 1,200 hp. With a torque rating of 1,106 lb-ft, it has a top speed of 255 mph. In normal or what Bugatti calls “handling” mode, the speed is limited to 233 mph. It can reach 62 mph in just 2.6 seconds.

Its 4,387-pound curb weight and motorsports-grade dampers allow the beast to pull 1.4 g on the skid pad on the new Vitesse aluminum wheels.

All of this can be yours for $2.3 million. Or you can just enjoy the video, along with epic mood music, and check out a few more at www.youtube.com/user/BugattiSocial. It's probably the closest most of us will ever get to one.
